On Saturday, March 22, 2003, families with adopted Chinese children were going about their business as usual. Some were at home, others were out and about. I asked parents to take a moment to record what was going on that day by taking pictures of their families, particularly their children.

The result of the "Day In The Life Of Our Children" project is presented here for your amazement. Once again, the normal activities with our children trump the noisy world in significance.

Imagine! Every day we are blessed with these special moments. Here is just one day.
